1044 Tasting/Inn Edition ① ~ Visit ~

The 25th of the Yellow Moon, which welcomed Princess Del Shea, ended safely, with its noise and its serenity balanced like Yajirobe.

Two days later, there will already be a tasting party by the staff of the inn.The speed with which it unfolded made me feel most rushed.

Nevertheless, we are only on the side of tasting this time.The stall business was carried out neatly, and once I got back to the forest and took a breath, I was able to relax and go to the castle town.

Eleven people headed for Castle Town.Eight people attend the tasting as judges, and three guards are named watchmen.Ai Fa and Ziza Lou continued to play that role, but Ludo Lou was replaced by Sin Lou.The reason is that at the last tasting, Raylis and Devias, among others, expressed their desire to reunite with Sin-Lou.

The assembly time is set at half of the third hour of descent.When we split up into two luggage cars and set out loosely for the castle gate in downtown, there were already a lot of people there.They are the people involved in the inn, who serve as judges, just like us.

"Hey, there you are. Thank you, Astas."

It was the master of Zelia's Tsurugi Pavilion who greeted me like that.Today, people close enough to know their names were roughly on the side serving food.

"Lined up here, you'll get a pass first.... so people around the woods are more familiar with this kind of story. "

"No, we don't get much chance of getting a pass by ourselves."

There are only 20 people lined up in the reception cabin installed just inside the castle gate.Moreover, it seemed that the person who had completed the reception had been led to a fine Totos car under the guidance of the samurai who had picked him up immediately.

We'll take care of the reception, leave our Totos and luggage and get in the Totos car.Due to the number of people, I decided to join the owner of Zelia's Tsurugi Pavilion.

"Ah? Speaking of which, Astas look just like usual.So you won't complain? "

"No, I talked to the nobles I was welcoming, and they were ready for me.Of course I'll pay for the coins, but I didn't know what kind of outfit to buy.... "

Some of the participating members are in possession of a banquet dress from the castle town.However, since today is a tasting party that is not a feast, the feast costume is not suitable.Still, even though it was said to be a fine costume in line with the norms of the castle town, we didn't understand at all.

"I was worried about the costume too, but there were eight of you at the most.I can't help but dress like this. "

And he put his hand under a fine Jaguar-style collar, and the master of Zeria's Tsurugi Pavilion said so.Words have the appearance of various kinds on the back.Men in the workplace towns seem to have fewer opportunities to dress up than men in the woods.

"Well, I suppose those who have been tasked with serving food will be able to dress in that white outfit.Asta and the girls in the woods looked good on us, but we don't deserve that look. "

"Really? Ladies and gentlemen, it seems quite suitable.Even your husband is about to come out with a pendulum. "

"All right. Either way, my inn is not going anywhere.At best, we'll have fun on the eating side. "

It should be quite a hassle to be summoned like this, but I didn't think your husband would be dissatisfied with that.It seems that you can pay the hassle just by sitting as a judge, and even more so, Daw Aung Yang is likely to be able to step into a castle town that has never had a connection before.Also, I felt comfortable with this for the second time, and the other masters also felt like children going on an excursion.

Eventually, it arrived at the Red Bird Palace for the first time in five days.

This entrance is also under the control of a military officer, who will guide you in groups of several while revealing your passes.

Here, the whole forest was greeted by Chiffon-Cher and Sheila.

"I've been expecting you, folks around the forest.We're here to help you change the call. "

It is always the case that Sheila plays this role, but it is surprising that she has a face all the way to Chiffon-Cher.When I asked why with joy, Chiffon-Cher explained to me softly and smiling.

"When I heard that this Sheila was entrusted with this role, Lady Refrea asked me to help her too... and told me that maids interact with each other..."

I'm sure if it's Refleia, you'll want to keep Chiffon-Cher with you forever.But since the interaction between Chiffon-Cher didn't spread, I told him that.It was a pleasure to be reminded once again of how important Refraea cares about Chiffon-Cher.

Then we'll pass through the bathhouse and be guided to the change room.I'm not in the kitchen today, and I'm not wearing a banquet costume, so I don't have to clean myself up.

Me and Jiza-Lou and Sin-Lou were button-touched by their fiancées in front of the room and dressed together.Both witness names were as white as ever, but what I had prepared was a fine Jaguar-style outfit.

It's not that luxurious, but the fabric seems fine anyway, and the collar and the like are standing right around the cheeks.I am used to wearing skinny pants and leggings, so there is nothing cramped at all.After the back length was raised, the measurements were taken again and the size was perfect.

"Ah, is it okay to keep this necklace on?"

When I asked, pointing to the necklace I had received from Ai-Fa, the younger boy smiled correctly at the fold.

"It's a splendid ornament.Let's fix the collar so we can see the stones better. "

This necklace may have been worn because the lace was a stylish silver chain.

Perhaps Ai-Fa looked so far and chose this necklace.The necklace I gave Ai Fa was forced to put on a string to be worn at a castle town feast, so I gave him an extra piece of that chain.

(When I first boarded the castle, I was told I wasn't allowed to wear it, so I sneaked it into my pocket.)

The recall was complete while I was chewing on the tingling feeling of happiness.

Waiting in the corridor with Ziza Lou and the others, Ai Fa eventually appeared from the adjacent room.Ai-Fa was a samurai's white outfit, and the others - all dressed like cute one-piece outfits.

It's not as gorgeous as a dress, but it's just an elegant design for everyday wear.The embroidery on the collar and sleeves is so elaborate that you can't beat the banquet costume, and any ruffles that aren't too flashy are good for the chest and hem.

In addition, the colors and designs of each of the seven people were different, so it was not gorgeous.Hair remains tied, but there are subtle ornaments on the neck and wrist, blending the wild taste of the people around the forest with an urban exfoliation.Murphyra-Naham and others looked very uncomfortable, but they didn't suit me at all.

By the way, the nobleman we talked about was Pollus, and it was only your mother, Ritier, who made these outfits for me.Ritier, whose hobby is to decorate people's banquet costumes, would still have an outstanding sense of fashion.

"Now, I will show you to the venue."

Lead Sheila and Chiffon-Cher through the corridor again.

I was guided to the same hall as last time.

After the transfer from the first reception to the Red Bird Palace and the recall, it may be about a moment now.On the spot, it seemed that there were almost all attendees except you.

We received a vermilion shoulder hanging at the entrance to the hall, and we enter while weaving it.Then he approached a group of strawberries in the corner of the hall.

"Hey, it's pretty unusual to be here like this."

It was three of the disciples of Vulcus - Roy, Bozzle, and Cyril Row.They were also dressed in abbreviated costumes, as they were wearing at Geld's noble farewell party.

"Hi, good work. I'm sure this is the first time you've ever eaten someone else's food with your face on it."

"Oh, and that's what the cafeteria in the town of the post is all about.... well, there's a rumor that I'm not that stupid, so I'm going to let you eat it with all my heart. "

"Yes, Yumi was in a good mood.It's a precious opportunity for Cyril Rowe and the others to eat their own food. "

When I spoke like that, Cyril Rowe had trouble choosing her expression.She wears a masculine outfit similar to that of Dial.

"Speaking of which, isn't Vulcan and Tutumai with you?"

"Oh, Vulcans don't like crowds.Not until the meeting starts.Tutumai is his escort. "

That's how Roy shrugged his shoulders.

"He's quiet about why he has to talk about the poor food he doesn't even know.The innkeepers won't listen when they tell you they're splitting up with your stalls.I hope you're here to wake him up. "

"Vulcans may be hard because they're ideal... but I don't think they're going to disappoint you that much."

When I answered like that, Reina Lou called me "Asta."

"With this number, it's difficult to move, so my brother Ziza says it should be divided into three groups."

"Ah, it seems that you can interact with a variety of other people.Of course, there's no difference. "

Hearing the words, Mime hugged Toor-Din's arm.

"Then I want to be with Tour-Din!Are you sure, Tour-din? "

"Huh? Ah, yes, of course."

Tour-din smiles with a ticklish face.At the same age, the two names secretly deepen their interaction.

In so doing, the younger clans Yun-Sudra, Marfila-Naham and Ray-Matua.The two sisters of the Lou family, Reina Lou and Limi Lou, naturally form a group.The rest was about which pair I would disturb.

Um, may I join the mimes at first?

It was Limi Lou, not Mime, I asked.I assumed that Limi Lou would want to accompany me, because I would be accompanying me.

"Yeah, I got it!... but will you come back later?"

"Yes, if Ziza Lou will forgive me."

Of course, Ziza Lou would like to accompany her sisters.But if we were to accompany Limi Lou, we would have to ask Ziza Lou to escort Mime and Tour-Din.

Limi Lou assured me with an innocent smile, "It's okay."

"I know the strength of Ey-Fa is even my brother Ziza!... and I wonder how sweet Ai-Fa is! "

Ey-Fa smiled bitterly and stroked her head so that Limi Lou's hair was not disturbed.

In any case, it is only after the meeting has begun that we will act differently.I had no reason to leave without being served, so I decided to have Roy and the others interact for a while.

"But if you're a chef in the castle town, I think there are a lot of people who think like Vulcans.Actually, the problem is, how about cooking in the town? "

"I think I've reached quite a level.Since the complex flavors are not as popular as castle towns, there may be aspects that seem simple... but if there are so many ingredients, it will alleviate those aspects. "

"Certainly," he agreed, was a bozzle in a fine Jaguar-style outfit.

"At the very least, there is no difference between castle and station towns in the type of ingredients you can handle.Still, if Asta-san and the others are familiar with the novel way of handling ingredients, there will be no inconvenience. "

"Yes, but not as expensive as a castle town.Shaska is a good example.This business is based on the idea of low profitability, so the cost of ingredients has to be tightened. "

"But that may be why we're doing our own creative work.Anyway, I'm counting on you. "

That's how the bozzle rounded its eyes.At the same time, Ey-Fa looks back.

"What is it, you? What can we do for you?"

It was Arishna the astrologer.The girl in the east who looked at the lake at night greeted her with a quiet expression.

"Excuse me for the chat.Can you forgive me for being cut out in the circle? "

"Hmm? Why do you want to join our circle?"

"I'm isolated here.I haven't seen them yet. "

Platica said she would be taking care of Count Durham's family last night, so she'll be with Nicolas later.After that, K'Kluel didn't seem to be here yet.

"Do you live in a castle town?And you don't know anyone else? "

"Yes, I'm a nobleman.There are no chefs in the castle, no contacts. "

I was told that Arishna, a guest of Lord Genos, was unlikely to make contact with the chef of the castle town.The people of the inn in the inn town are untold.

I decided to sneak my ear because I had Ai Fa hanging around.

"This is under the auspices of His Highness Dakarmas, and Jaguar soldiers are lined up everywhere. Isn't this a bit delicate for Arishna, the people of the East?"

"I guess so..."

Ey-Fa's face became more and more melancholy.Arishna stood in front of me like a noble shamcat, and her heart was immeasurable to me.

"Very well, you're not the one causing the commotion."

"Yes, thank you. Thank you for your kindness."

And there's Reina Lou's "Yeah!?The voice echoed.

When we look back, Reina Lou lowers her head with her mouth shut.

"Oh, I'm sorry I shouted.I was a little surprised..... "

"Hmm? What surprised me?"

Reina Lou was talking about Roy and Cyril Lou.It was Cyril Rowe who gave the explanation, who was in a tough situation.

"In three days, the chefs in the castle town will prepare the dishes for the tasting.You haven't been notified yet. "

"Chef of Castle Town, tasting party?Will Vulcans cook too? "

"Of course! Do you think such a meeting will take place without Vulcans?"

"Ah, no. That's not what I meant. The Vulcans just cooked at a tasting five days ago...."

"Didn't Dakarmas tell you that day to prepare a place to show off the power of Vulcans?That promise was fulfilled sooner or later. "

I didn't think so, and I looked at Reina Lou.

We were getting new information from Porcus the other day.While Princess Del Share was visiting her job, Pollux secretly revealed it to Donda-Lou and the others.

"Um... actually, we're going to be having a tasting party soon.This time, only the woodside kamadori made the food and asked everyone to try it. "

His Royal Highness Dakarmas was willing to hold it immediately, but the people around the forest also had stalls, so could you give me a little more respite? Pollus and the others said they were comfortable with it.As Refraea once said, the Poles did not always accept His Highness's offer.

"I see. Three days later, the chefs of the castle town, and then the people around the forest?It seems that His Highness Dakarmas is really trying to make the cook in Genos feel comfortable. "

With a harsh look on his face, Cyril Rowe said so.

"If you can taste the food of the people around the forest, I look forward to it.But first of all, I want you to taste the real power of Vulcan. "

"No, we've been reminded of that for a long time... but it would be great if the people in the workplace could taste it."

"Yes, I'm sure we won't have to resent the royals now."

Cyril Rowe must have been surprised at the tasting the other day.Roy shrugged his shoulders again, and the bozzle smiled a bit troublesome.

"Perhaps the bozzle will serve another dish separate from Vulcan?"

"Yeah, that's what happened.As far as I'm concerned, the load is winning too much.... "

"What are you saying?The Bozzle was also awarded a Medal of Honor the other day. "

It wasn't me that answered that way, Cyril Lowe.

"But this time, it's a taste comparison based on equal conditions.As a disciple of Vulcans, I am a strangler. "

"That's why it's hard for Cyril Lowe to see you like that."

While returning the cheerful words, the bozzle looked really painful.

When I saw it, Ey-Fa said, "Hmm."

"If taste comparison is a comparison of cooks' abilities, you don't have to feel the burden until then.I wonder if I can show my power correctly. "

"Yeah, that's probably true, but...."

"I know. It will be hard for my colleagues to look at me like this."

That said, Ey-Fa turned back towards Cyril Row.

"It's Cyril Lowe. Is this bozzle an important colleague to you?Or do you think he's the enemy that threatens Vulcan? "

"Enemies? No, I don't think so... but if we lose the Apprentice Bozzle again, it will be Vulcan's fame!"

"So, aren't you aiming to go beyond your mentor?In the woods, parents say they want their children to go beyond themselves. "

Cyril Rowe looked up as if she had been stuck in the void.

"Of course... my lifelong goal is to catch up with Vulcans..."

"That would be the same thing as a vozzle.Perhaps it's too small to see it as an enemy. "

"So, I don't see you as an enemy....."

And Cyril Rowe talks too much.

So Roy spoke bitterly.

"Cyril Rowe is a quality that only happens in the immediate future.I'm not constantly hostile to the bozzle, but now I'm filled with heads by restoring my master's honor. "

"Hmm, what is it! It's like treating people like children!"

"Then first, cool your head.In the first place, there's only 30 people in the stadium town who want to meet for a tasting?Then Vulcus won't win. "

Cyril Rowe looked at Roy with consternation.

"Hmm, why? Why would Vulcans lose if the people of the stadium town joined?"

"Because in the workplace town, complicated seasoning is not popular.If so, Vulcan cuisine is expensive to get rid of.Bozzle cuisine, which came first at the last tasting, is far from complicated. "

Cyril Rowe seemed to be under considerable shock.

Roy laughs invincibly to strengthen it.

"That's why you can't help but worry about such a story.No matter what anyone else says, we are intoxicated by the Master's work.Isn't that the point? "

"Yeah, I think so, too.Even if Vulcus does not rank first in taste, it does not change my impression.Vulcus is such a great cook. "

Reina Lou also said so with a gentle smile.

"Even if you are proud to win, losing is no shame.That is the power of the hunters around the forest.After all, there are similar parts to the taste of this tasting party.I think we should be proud of the winning asters and bozzles, but I don't think anyone else needs to be ashamed. "

"But..." said Cyril Rowe.

Now, Marfila-Naham made a statement.

"Wow, I feel the same way about Raina Lou.Besides, even if Vulcan cuisine misses first place, Vulcan's greatness should be conveyed.Va, even if Vulcan cuisine doesn't suit your taste, if you let them eat that much, everyone will be stunned. "

That said, Marfila-Naham smiled.

"Shu, shu, I was secretly looking forward to how surprised I would be if the people of the workplace town were to eat Vulcan food.So Cyril Rowe would also like you to do your part for Vulcan. "

Cyril Rowe looked at Reina Rowe and Marfila-Naham with some kind of lost child smile.

There, the voice of the surname echoes.

"This is your entrance. No applause required, so please wait."

At last, the fifth hour of descent is approaching.

The people who were hanging out in the chat also turned to the front with their mouths shut.You guys showed up from a different entrance than us.

Like a feast, neither name nor identity is revealed.You arrived in a row of seats in a solemn manner.
